1. Conventional wisdom holds that traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are old-fashioned while projects and collaborati ve learning are applauded. What’s your view?I think each has its own advantages and disadvantages.On one hand, Traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are irreplaceable. In thousands of years of cultural heritage in China, teaching and memory have always been the main way. When we are learning basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge, such as chemistry, physics and so on, we need teachers to teach and explain. We need to communicate with teachers to understand the knowledge. At the same time, we need do a lot of training and memory to better apply knowledge.On the other hand, project and cooperative learning are popular in recent days. This is enough to show that it does have some advantages. This way enables people to make the best of everything and give full play to their advantages. It can also effectively learn the strengths of others and improve their own shortcomings faster and better. At the same time, when students have acquired a certain knowledge, Projects and collaborative learning are good ways to combine theory and practice and achieve a deeper level of learning.From what has been discussed above, we should not abandon the advantages of the past learning methods. Only by combining the advantages of the new era learning methods with those of the past can we better adapt to the pace of modern learning.2. Teachers are suggested not to be concerned about the negative effects of picking winners and losers. Do you think that failure will traumatize students, sapping them of self-esteem?I think this situation varies from person to person. Failure for a strong-willed person will motivate him to move on, while failure for a weak-willed person may hurt his self-esteem. But anyway, I think life without failure is imperfect life, and people can become more mature only through failure.For teachers, negative effects should be avoided as much as possible. After all, it is impossible to know the attitude of all students towards difficulties. Some students who sap self-esteem will lose interest in learning. But some students can do better.From what has been discussed above,it can be seen that self-esteem is the source of student's enterprising power, so educators love students and protect students. Self-esteem is especially important to cultivate students' self-esteem. Teachers should change their teaching ways to different students. Only in this way can benefit the greatest number of students.3. The American Urban Dictionary, a popular online slang dictionary, includes several Chinese buzzwords, such as no zuo no die. Some people think it is a major victory for Chinglish speakers. Do you agree?I agree with this point. With the development of China, China's economic and cultural strength is gettingstronger and stronger, so that foreign scholars must pay attention to our country's culture. Chinese culture has an increasing impact on a global scale. So Chinese buzzwords are included in foreign dictionary is a major victory for Chinglish speakers.At the same time, I think this phenomenon is a process of integration of world cultures. With the change of the times, the language also changes. Some Chinese can’t be explained by English well, so there will appear new English words to depict the new Chinese words. Some commonly used Chinese adding to the dictionary can better improve people's expression ability.From what has been discussed above, I believe that national culture and economic strength are linked, not isolated. The prosperity of a country's culture cannot be separated from the support of economic prosperity. Today, the economic strength of our motherland is rising, so the status of Chinese culture in the world has been improved, and Chinese language has been accepted by more people.4. Why does a good dictionary have to take special care over common words instead of rare words? Illustrate your point with examples.Because common words are used very frequently, while rare words are rarely used in life. Good dictionaries focus on common words, which can well meet the needs of users, and are more widely used in life. If a commonly used word is not found in the dictionary or is incorrectly explained, this dictionary is definitely not a good dictionary.For example, compare a rare word with a common word. Rare words are used by very few people, while common words are used by most people. The function of a dictionary is to meet the needs of the majority of users, not to be designed for the minority. Therefore, a good dictionary will definitely pay more attention to the usage of common words, meet the needs of most users, and give full play to the role of the dictionary.From what has been discussed above, because common words are used in a high frequency and used by the large number of people. So a good dictionary is more concerned with common words.5.Many countries in the world have a mature film rating system, while there is no film rating system in China mainland. Do you think film rating system has more advantages or disadvantages? Illustrate your point.From my point of view, film rating system has both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, film rating system can effectively protect physical and mental health of teenagers. For example, children are not suggested to watch movies which include quantities of terror and violence scenes. What’s more, it is convenient for management, which can promote the development of the film industry.On the other hand, I think film rating system has more disadvantages. Everyone sees things differently. When evaluating a movie, we will carry emotional judgments. We cannot guarantee that everyone is rational. Maybe this movie is good, but I just do not like it and the rating is naturally unreal. Then the rating system isa mistake to a certain extent.From what has been discussed above, film classification has both advantages and disadvantages. When deciding whether to have a film classification, the pros and cons should be weighed.5. Some people prefer western films, thinking that they are more worth watching than Chinese films, while others like Chinese films better. What is your opinion? Illustrate your points.In my opinion, there is no comparison between Chinese films and western films. Different people have different preferences. For some people who enjoy western films, they may prefer pop culture and stunning visual effect. But for some people who likes Chinese films, they may prefer traditional culture.The film is used to communicate, is the author expresses his inner thoughts, the way to the world view. Foreign films and Chinese films may form a difference, but human nature is common. China's films also have bright spots, and foreign films also have rotten pieces.From what has been discussed above, for both western films and Chinese films, we should see their advantages and disadvantages. We should not praise one side while belittling another side.6. Some people say "If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, there would be the Beethoven Effect instead of the Mozart Effect. Do you believe so? Why or why not?“I think the Beethoven effect may exist, but it will not replace the Mozart effect. The music of Mozart and Beethoven has its own characteristics. Mozart's music can make the rough and hard things in our hearts soft, Beethoven's music can make the weak things in our hearts strong. But in general the influence of music on people is subtle.The "Mozart effect" refers not only to Mozart's music, but to music that has the same or similar musical structure. The Mozart effect can trigger positive emotions such as joy and pleasure, which in turn can boost cognitive processing.Beethoven music has its own characteristics, If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, it may also have a musical effect. Not just these two kinds of music, any kind of music can have a subtle effect on people. If we often listen to one kind of music, it will have a corresponding effect on us.7. Nowadays anyone can post information on the internet even if it is incorrect. As a result, most information we read is inaccurate." To what extent do you agree or disagree?I think some of the information we read is wrong. Since anyone can publish information on the Internet, as a result, most information we read is inaccurate. When we find the information we need, we may find some wrong information.This phenomenon is because no one verifies the correctness of these views and rejects the wrong ones. So we should have our own view when surfing the internet. We should learn to distinguish the true and falseinformation. We can use some official website to find information, so as to get the correct information.The Internet brings us a lot of convenience, but it also brings some disadvantages, such as incorrect information. I think we can do something about it. On the one hand, the government can introduce some management laws to regulate people's behavior of releasing information; On the other hand, when we act as publishers of information, we should be responsible for the content we publish and ensure its health and accuracy8. Many people have done a lot of experiments to prove that listening to music can make children smarter while many other scientific data also prove that music study does not make children smarter. Who or which group do you agree with and wdiehy?I agree with that listening to music can make children smarter. Music has a catalytic effect on one's intelligence. It can make people wiser and strengthen people's memory. Appreciating or playing music can strengthen the function of human's mental and nervous system. Visual memory and auditory memory can get exercise, emotional experience also can be strengthened. The person that makes music for a long time, have stronger memory, and is outstanding than normal person.Listening to music is also a kind of leisure, it helps people to combine work and rest, to avoid overwork. When we are tired, listening to music can relieve our tiredness, relieve our mood and improve our enthusiasm for life. Then we can regain the confidence to face life. Being in a good mood stimulates creativity, which makes music listeners smarter9. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly. Will intelligent machines replace us, coexist us, or merge with us?I think AI will live with us. The rise of artificial intelligence has brought a lot of benefits to people. It has improved security and saved labor. For example: face recognition, speech recognition for people's security has played a great role; intelligent robots do heavy and dangerous work for people and so on. But artificial intelligence will not or cannot replace people, it is created by people, so it cannot surpass human beings, it will coexist with us.With the development of people's wisdom, artificial intelligence will also be further developed. It serves people's needs, obeys people's command, and will not surpass or replace people. It will make our life more convenient10 .What does self-reliance mean to you? Do you believe that it is one of the most important things a student could ever learn? What are the possible ways to build it?Self-reliance means relying on one's own strength to get things done.Whether a country or a person wants to pursue development, the most important thing is to adhere to self-reliance and independent innovation. Self-reliance can strengthen our ability to face any difficulties; Self-reliance is not only a spiritual belief, but also a path to action. Self-reliance will help us break the bottleneck of development on our way forward.Self-reliance not only lies in life, but also exists in work and study, we should set up a positive enterprising, hard-working spirit and cultivate good habits, so as to establish the ability of self-reliance.11. Grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, is the best predictor of success. Do you agree with the statement? Illustrate your point with examples.I agree with this statement. I think that Grit is important for a person's growth and development. Grit is the foundation of achievement. Success belongs to the people who have grit. They will work to achieve their ideas according to the plan. When encountering difficulties, they never compromise. Their power does increase with the degree of obstruction.For example, our country determined to develop it’s economy. After decades of efforts, our GDP has exceeded 10 trillion dollars, making us the second largest economy, only behind the United States.Yuan longping was determined to study rice to solve China's food problem. After years of experiments, he succeeded in developing hybrid rice. His success has saved the Chinese people from starvation and the world from starvation.12. Among all the principles of Wait Disney’s success which do you value most? Why? What do you think you can learn from Walt Disney? Illustrate your points.Make Everyone's Dreams Come TrueYou Better Believe ItNever a Customer, Always a GuestAll for One and One for All.Dare to Dare.Practice, Practice, PracticeMake Your Elephant FlyCapture the Magic with StoryboardsGive Details Top BillingAmong all the principles of Wait Disney’s success, each principle is the secret of success and is worth learning for us. But I like the forth principle most, which is “All for One and One for All”. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork. Teamwork is seen as a way to cultivate strong loyalty and enthusiasm among employees. It emphasizes that people should help each other and promote each other instead of focusing onself-interest. I can share the fruits of others' labor and thoughts, and I can share mine with others. We are an inseparable whole of mutual benefit.From this we can learn that it is not easy for a company to succeed, it needs the joint efforts of all the members of the company, not only need teamwork, but also need innovation and courage. The principles of the company are also key to the success of the company. It is the philosophy that every employee practices. Only with good principles can employees work hard and achieve success.13. Do you like Disney films? In Passage One Walt Disney has been criticized for its negative social influences. Do you agree with the author? Illustrate your points.Just like many other children, when I was young, I like Disney films very much. Although some authors criticize Disney's negative impact on society, I don't entirely agree with the author. Everything has two sides. There are advantages and disadvantages at the same time. We should not throw away its advantages and only criticize its disadvantages. Although Disney didn’t deal with characters in terms of gender and race, it also brings many positive ideas to children. It allows children to have fun through movies, animations and so on, it teach children to learn about the world and knowledge.It's hard for a company to have the perfect recognition and social impact, and Disney has been a breakthrough in children's entertainment. It is an indispensable part of the life of many American families. In the future, I hope it can reduce the negative impact on society and strive to do better.14. Think of two misunderstandings you experienced when communicating with someone else at work, home or school. Discuss with your partners on the following questions. What seemed to be the main cause of the misunderstandings? How can we avoid being understood in our daily communication?There are many reasons for misunderstanding. But the main reason is not to understand the details or look at the problem more one-sided. For example, during the summer vacation, I was misunderstood by my boyfriend. One evening, a male classmate called to ask me how to do a problem. I talked for a long time because the problem was difficult. Then my boyfriend got angry because he thought I was too close to my classmates.From this little example, we can see that we must learn to look at problems with a calm mind. When we calm down to understand the cause of things, we can look at things more objectively, so there will be no misunderstanding. When we are angry or angry, we need to suppress our emotions and let ourselves see things calmly. This is not only important in dealing with interpersonal relationships, but also plays an important role in dealing with difficulties.What are the benefits of using dictionaries?

Why or why not?I think in today's life, we can’t find the love in the movies. The movie comes from life but is higher than life. Most of the love in the movie is unreal. For example, it is almost impossible for the prince to fall in love with Cinderella in reality. So I don't think we can find love in movies in today’s world.Secondly, love in the movie is a beautiful vision in people's hearts, so it is more romantic and legendary than the real love. Considering the love stories around us, whether they are lovers or husband and wife, they all have problems of large and small, and often have conflicts or quarrels. Therefore, fairy-tale love in movies cannot be found in reality.It seems that you have a deep understanding about this problem.。

2012-2013武汉理工大学英语口语考试

1.Do you think that earning more money can make people much happier?Unit 111)第一种观点：金钱就是幸福The money is everything. We usually work hard to earn money, and money can buy cars, houses and other things what you like. Now the girls get married with boy‟s house. They want to have a good life. So, we cannot live without money. This is my life goal. If I can get the money, we get the happiness. I like this feeling.2) 第二种观点：金钱不代表幸福Money can buy a lot of things, but can not buy love. The spirited is the soul in our life. There are a lot of people do not care about fame and money. Although lack of money in their lives, they feel very happy. So, money does not mean happiness. Many rich people live is not happy, because they need to worry about more things.3)第三种观点：没钱可以过得幸福，但是生活中需要钱。

I don't fully agree with this view that the money is happy. Our life cannot do without money, but money is not our whole life. The essence of life is going for freedom. The good life is not only including material also contains the spirit. Money is not the root of all evil. We can use the money to achieve many things, of course, can also from the spiritual harvest happiness.2.Women’s Social Status Unit 12There is no doubt that, nowadays, women play a more and more important role in society. A famous saying goes that, women, half of the sky. From ancient China to modern society, women's social status in China experienced a process: from low to high. In the past, the most important functions for women were just having children. People always look up to men and down on women. In modern society, women play a more and more important role in life. Modern women are independent, and they start to rely on themselves to achieve their goals. Chinese women no longer regard family as all and they don‟t just stay home, do house work and look after children like ancient women. Most of Chinese women have works as their husbands. They can work to support themselves, no longer relying on their husband materially and psychologically. Now, many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering. Women can also be seen in the political and economic life. I amfirmly convinced that gender discrimination will be eliminated one day, and women can enjoy the equal treatment as men.3.Whether does a visionary(有眼力的) company require a great idea? Whichdo you prefer, initial entrepreneurial success or visionary company success?Unit 13View 1: “a great idea”论I think a great idea is so important in creating and building a visionary company, because a great idea could attract people‟s attentions and catch people‟s eyes. As we know, in recent years, there are various kinds of new companies which all have huge competitiveness. So how can we stand out in those companies? Surely, we need a great idea. Of course, I don‟t claim that we don‟t have any plans after we have a great idea. A careful planning is also the key to success.View 2: “hard-working”论A great idea may make a difference in the early founding period, but if we spend a lot of time and money or pay more attentions to find a great idea, it will shift your attentions away from seeing the company as your final aim. In my opinion, a successful company needs professional knowledge and great ambitions. What‟s more, hard work is always the ladder to success forever.4.The culture difference between China and foreign countries. Unit 14(1) Good morning teachers, our topic is about the culture difference between China and foreign countries. First of all, I'd like to talk about something about culture difference. As we know, culture difference includes many things, such as value system, the habits of language, social etiquette(社交礼仪), the sense of equality (平等意识)and so on. With the development of China, they can be seen everywhere and affect our daily life.(2)Yes, I quite agree with the view above last classmate (I think you‟re right). When we do something with foreign people, the culture difference may be a problem. For example, In China, when you do something very good or make a big progress, others may say “Congratulations”, you may say ” where, where”. Your real meaning is that you progress is not very big which show our modest, but foreign peoplemisunderstan d your meaning. They may think you‟re asking him where you do the best and they may find out where you did best.(3)Your example sounds very interesting. I think this phenomenon mainly caused by the habits of language. I will give an example about marriage. In China, the bride and the bridegroom would in red clothes because they believe the red color represents good luck and happiness and the wedding would host in the bridegroom‟s house. But in the aboard, the bride always in her white wedding gown and their wedding will host in the church. I also think this is a reflection of culture difference.(4) The last classmate said very well. I really agree with his idea. Besides, I will give you a very important difference which is the sense of value. Chinese centered with collectivism(集体主义), but foreigners centered with individualism. Chinese pay attention to modest, but foreigners pay more attention to personal honor. I think this is the biggest difference between China and foreign countries.(5)Everyone has given a good speech. Indeed, China and many other countries have culture difference, but it‟s these differences strengthen the communication and promotes the development among them. I believe our world may become better in the future through culture exchanges.5.The applications of glass in daily life. Unit 15As we know, we can see the glass at many places in everyday life. We use glass as container, vases(花瓶) and so on. There are many applications of glass in our daily life.A crucial use of glass is for making windows. The glass windows let light into our house making house become more blight, allowing house dirty become more apparent and leading to improvement in health. The shopkeepers use glass windows to display their product and the stained-glass windows make the house more beautiful. Another use of glass is making glass bottles. Glass bottles contribute to the storage of drinks, foods and medicines, allowing wine and beer to be more easily stored and transported.We can also use glass to make eyeglass. It improves our sight, lengthens our working life, and protects our eyes.In a word, the glass is very useful to our daily life.6.What special festivals are there in China? Which do you like to celebrate? 6.1(1) Tale of NianWe call the Spring Festival Nian, but did you know that Nian was once the name of a terrible, scary monster? A long time ago, the monster Nian lived in the mountains. It looked like an ugly dragon, and got angry easily.Nian ate animals. But in winter, it could not find food. So it came to many villages and ate people. People were so afraid of Nian that they locked their doors before evening came during the winter.One day, an old man came to a village. He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things—red color, fire and noise. He told people to play drums and gongs (铜锣), make big fires and set off fireworks (放鞭炮) to make Nian go away.On a moonless, cold night, Nian went to the village again. As soon as it opened its big mouth, people made loud noises and made fires. Nian was really afraid and ran away. Wherever it went, there was noise and fire. When Nian was tired and could not run anymore, people killed the monster.After that, on the coldest day of winter, people beat drums and gongs, and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian. They put up red lanterns (灯笼) and have a big dinner without sleeping during the night, and greet each other happily in the next morning.(2) Brief Introduction of Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations andlong-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.7.What do you think are popular western festivals that Chinese like tocelebrate? Why? 6.2In my point of view, this is a good trend. It can account for several reasons. Firstly, nowadays we live in a multicultural world. Everything around us has changed. We must absorb it, instead of discarding(丢弃) it. When facing it, we can absorb the essence(精华) and discard the crude. Secondly, since we joined in the WTO, we have been influenced by foreign culture. Some are very interesting and fascinating. Gradually we are assimilated by the “imported goods”. By celebrating western festival, we can better understand and appreciate it. What‟s more, it also can promote the personal consumption, thus boost our economy.8.Describe a foreign food you would like to try 6.3When I was preparing what to say just now, the first dish that popped into my head was Indian curry(咖喱), so that's what I've decided to talk about.As for where you can get this dish, well, apart from obviously going to India to eat it, there are, as far as I know, a number of Indian restaurants dotted around my hometown which serve curry, although for some reason, I haven't got around to going to any yet; maybe it's because there are so many decent restaurants here in Hangzhou!Anyway, moving on to how I know about this dish, well to be honest with you, I'm not all that sure how I got to know about Indian curry, but I guess it's kind of been a mixture of hearing about it from people, and reading about it in various books and magazines. In fact, I remember reading, only a few weeks ago, a review in the local paper about a recently-opened Indian curry house which apparently does really authentic Indian curry, so I can't wait to check it out sometime!And finally, if there's still time, with regards to why I would like to try this dish, well thinking about it, I would say that one of the main reasons would be that I haven't actually tried it before, which I admit is a little surprising, seeing as most people my age have probably tried it at some stage or other. And as for other reasons, well I suppose I should also mention the fact that I'm a huge fan of spicy stuff, and if Thai curry is anything to go by, I reckon I would really like the taste of Indian curry, as I'm sure they're not that different.So, I guess there are many things to say, so thanks very much for listening.

To whom is it OK and to whom is it not OK? 6.5From my point of view, People from different places have different ways of acting, so it is important to try to do things the way local people do. Because this will make the local people feel more comfortable with you around, also you will feel closer to them. Also, it‟s nothing when I talk to my mother or my close friends directly, but it's not ok when you talk to strangers in this way. So, to different people, you should talk in different ways.10.Do you think “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” is always a good advice?Defend you viewpoint with justifiable evidence. 6.6In my opinion, it can help us join the natives more quickly that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. We can learn their culture more easily and make friends with them more easily. But I don‟t think it is always a good advice. Because another culture has a lot of special rules, we can‟t act well as the natives. It may cause some troubles. On the other hand, people always like new things, maybe our culture can cause their interests, and our culture is also worth respecting.This is a good trend. It can account for several reasons. Firstly, nowadays we live in a multicultural world. Everything around us has changed. We must absorb it, instead of discarding it. When facing it, we can absorb the essence and discard the crude. Secondly, since we joined in the WTO, we have been influenced by foreign culture. Some are very interesting and fascinating; gradually we are assimilated by the “imported goods”. By celebrating western festival, we can better understand and appreciate it. What‟s more, it also can promote the personal consumption, thus boost our economy.11.Do you think earning more money can bring you more happiness? Why? 7.11) Yes, I am worried about money every day, how long should I buy a house in the city. If I earn more money, I could buy what I want and I think I would be happier. In fact, many people think more money could bring more happiness, although it is not objective. Money can solve many problems. If money could not bring happiness, why are we trying our best to work hard to earn money?2) No, I don‟t think earning more money can bring me more happiness. Money is not everything. Earning more money just can improve my quality of life, but can‟t satisfy my spirit. Happiness is a kind of spiritual experience. Anything can‟t replace it. And money can‟t buy kinship, friendship and love. If I just have money, but no friends, no family, no lover, I would be very painful. It is not necessary to pursue money blindly. At last, maybe you will find that you are so poor that you just have money.12.What is your definition of successful life? 7.2In my opinion, successful life consists of family and career. Only the two aspects succeed, can we say we have a successful life.What family can be seen as a successful family? First of all, we should be in harmony with each other. In addition, the members of the family should be physically and mentally healthy. As for the successful career, firstly, the field I work must be that I like most or I can do best. What‟s more, the company should be potential so that I could have a bright future. Meanwhile, I can get along well with the colleagues,The definition of success life should be found by oneself. The feeling of happiness life should be interpreted by oneself. Don't get lost in the others‟ opinion. Career cannot be flashy, but accomplished. Love without words, just thinking about. Without abundant money, just enough is OK. No need long life, just keep healthy. Friends are not needed more or less, just understanding.13.Describe an important stage or an enjoyable stage of your life 7.3One of the most important times in my life, as it is in almost everyone‟s life, was when I was sixteen.I was in high school in Beijing. I was a kind of a shy teenager and only had one friend. We were very close and did everything together. We would often go to each other‟s house for sleepovers, and would stay late at night chatting about everything two children could ever chat about. We were best of friends until one day when we had a terrible misunderstanding. She thought I had told someone a secret that she had told me, and she decided not to be my friend anymore. She made a new best friend and would strut around with her trying to make me jealous. She would gossip with all the other kids about me. I suddenly became an outcast at school, and thus, became utterly lonely and depressed. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me.It was not until I talked with my cousin about my situation, that I realized it was not me that had a problem but her. I also began to understand that you can not takewhat others say and do so close to heart, or you will always feel bad about yourself, and will never be able to live your life. I also realized that bad things happen in life, and you can not hide from them or dig yourself into a hole. I eventually found a new best friend, whom I am still friends with today. I have a more open personality, and I am one of the top students in my college. I believe that situation made me a stronger person. I can handle rejection now wherever it comes from, and just keep rolling witha smile on my face.14.Describe the happy moments in your life to your group and explain why youfeel that way. 7.4You can say something about travel, party, thinking alone or someone or something that takes happiness to you. Such as, spending time with my family, getting a message from my lover, listening to my lover's voice on the phone, admiring the beauty of nature, going for a ride in the car with no destination, seeing old friends, and visiting places with fond memories from my childhood.For Example, I always get happy when I ‟m staying with my family. I love this kind of feeling because I don‟t need to worry about troubles, and we can chat together whatever we like and let me feel a sense of belonging. And I can feel the warm and sincere. I have been studying away from home so many years. Time flies, time that can spend with them become less and less. I really miss this moment very much. 15.The knowledge of “Chinese philosophy” 7.5We have to think of Confucius(孔子)When it comes to …Chinese philosophy‟. In my opinion Confucianism‟s greatest contribution to the Chi nese nation is its shaping and molding of the Chinese character and national soul and its founding of the complete system of knowledge. For example, the ethical(伦理) thought of Confucius can be summed up as the following five cardinal virtues: loyalty, piety(孝顺), affection and love, faithfulness and righteousness(正直). These high standards of morals are our national spirit.While they also tried their best to explain naturally occurring phenomena, what concerned them most were social issues. The purpose of learning the "orders of things" was to provide a better and more systematic explanation to human matters."To examine heavenly order to learn human affairs(究天理而知人事)" -- perhaps considered the prime task by ancient Chinese philosophers --characterized Chinese philosophy with the distinct feature of giving great attention to societal needs. The focal point on people led to Chinese philosophers' suffering and worries about society, especially at the times of social chaos.On the other hand, Chinese had a good tradition of theoretical thinking. Though the focus was always on human affairs, Chinese philosophers were always looking for a reason to develop thought that explained ordinary or mundane affairs of theday-to-day world.Chinese philosophers researched a wide range of subjects on ancient, modern, eastern, and western philosophies, striving to improve China's own philosophy. The trend is still continuing today, forming a new mixed cultural philosophy.As a result of its features, Chinese philosophy has always had a close relationship with society in its development process. The "misfortunes" the nation has suffered from time to time presented major philosophical challenges, and the "fortunes" of philosophers were vital creations as responses to philosophical subjects of the time. 16.The white lie（善意的谎言）and honesty 7.61）Honesty refers to the quality of a person who tells the truth and works without deception(欺骗). Honesty is a virtue admired everywhere, while dishonesty is generally despised and condemned.2）We need honesty in our daily life, without it, the original orderly society will become disruption. To some extend, we might have told lie to someone.Function of the white lie:(1) Comfort others(2) To give a positive signal to others(3) Relieve someone's worries(4) It is one kind of polite in order to avoid hurting someone‟s feeling17.Why do modern Chinese youth postpone(延迟) their marriage? 8.1Marriage is everyone's dream, however nowadays many youth postpone the marriage. What happened to them? Are they afraid of getting married? Or theydon‟t have found the right one.They may be psychologically ready to get married, but hindered by the cost of property. At the same time, nowadays, the youth have high expectations of marriage, which costs a lot of money. On the thought of the burden of their kids' education, they are a little afraid of marriage. Besides, many young people, especially women, want to choose their own career opportunity without any effects of their families.18.What has resulted in the increasing divorce rate in modern society? 8.2Arranged marriage has b ecome the past. But free love marriage doesn‟t bring happy family life. Nowadays the divorce rate increases. This is a problem. But what are the reasons?A: Today we want to talk about the reasons of divorce.B: Guys, here is the date of divorce rate recent years in China. Obviously, the divorce rate is increasing.C: Without those dates, I also have this kind of impression, because many couples have divorced or consider to divorce.A: Someone considers the divorce as a progress in social democracy.B: In fact this kind of viewpoint has its reasons. You see, several decades ago marriage is arranged. Marriage between male and female is almost for some utilitarian(功利)purpose.A: Yes, I agree with you. That time marriage is just for politics or economy. Love is ignored. But nowadays marriage usually bases on free love. This kind of marriage respects love between male and female. As far as we know, the respect of human rights is the basement of social democracy.C: I partly agree with you. Compared to the point of claiming the increasing divorce rate as a progress in social democracy, I more agree with this kind of view. The kind of view is aiming the increasing divorce rate as a decline in social morality.A: So what do you mean? You mean arranged marriage better?C: I don‟t mean this. I mean we have lost some good social moralities. Several decades ago, these moralities exited. But now we are losing them.B: According to your way of thinking, I should agree with you. Perhaps the increasing divorce rate partly reflects a progress in social democracy and a decline in social morality. The problem should not be so easy to be resolved.C: So you now have no idea. But I persist my viewpoint.19.Marriage in China and western countries 8.3In the traditional Chinese marriage, there are three letters cover betrothal(订婚) letter, gift letter and wedding letter. The gifts must be prepared well. To some degree, marriage in China is benefit to family. It is not only about individual emotion but also family‟s stripe. However, i n western countries, the marriage is individual problem.It‟s the prefect ending of love.20.What qualities in a (marriage) partner are important to you? Describe thequalities 8.4I suppose that depends on the person. I myself would look for the following qualities in a mate:1) Humor- I like to laugh, so I love people who make me laugh.2) Loyalty- It is very important to find someone who believes in commitment(保证) and will be loyal to you in marriage or in a simple dating relationship.3) Communication- You need to be able to talk to your partner and trust that they will take into consideration you thoughts and opinions. If your relationship lacks this one simple quality, then you may as well be kissing a brick wall.4) Compromise- Both partners need to be able to give a little. One reason I believe a lot of relationships fail is because one or both partners are selfish and want things their way.5) Common goals- It is important to discuss with you partner things such as plans for your life, and whether or not you want children.6) Love- There is a difference between Infatuation and Love. Don‟t let your heart get in the way of your mind and reason. Give it time to mature and don‟t hog making any long term commitments until you are sure that what your feeling is real. Be sure that you partner is will to do the same.This is only my opinion. And I'm still young, but these are things I have been taught. And these are the things I will apply to my life.21.Do you “go Dutch” when dating? What do you think about “go Dutch”? 8.5I usually go Dutch when dating, especially in restaurant. Usually I will treat them this time, while someone will treat us next time. We follow this style one by one. Also, sometimes in restaurant everyone pays what he orders and sits together and has the food separately.In China, people like to invite guests and treat them a feast. This is not a “going Dutch” style. “Going Dutch” style is usually used among friends.But I will never go Dutch in my future marriage life. I think this will make our relationship cool down, and even may break our marriage.22.Nowadays many newlyweds choose to have a naked wedding without a house,a car, diamond ring or grand wedding ceremony. What is your opinion onnaked wedding? 8.6FOR:(1)Such a wedding shou ldn‟t be tagged with this title. It is normal for young people. I think the whole society has a twisted concept over marriage and happiness.(2)It is nothing to ashamed of to rent an apartment. In our parents‟ generation, they married …naked‟ and started t heir life from scratch(白手起家).(3)A love marriage is a union of two individuals based upon mutual love, affection, commitment and attraction.AGAINST:(1)A nine-yuan certificate marriage without material foundation is as fragile as a sheet of paper and cannot withstand any obstacles(障碍).(2)We don‟t want to empty our wallets to become slaves to a marriage. I am still young and I hope I will see the day when the property market bubble bursts(泡沫破裂). But before that I can‟t accept a naked wedding.23.What is important in choosing a job? 9.1There are some important factors we should consider when choosing a job：SkillsA job that lets you to make full use of your skills and experience has a lot of advantages. First, you can put your investment in your education and training to work. More importantly, you are more likely to feel passionate and equipped in a job that you are properly trained to do. Your company will also be more satisfied if you are in a position that you can handle with few problems.InterestsBeing motivated in your job usually requires more than the ability to do the work. You also want to have an interest in your job and the effects it has on your company and its customers. For example, someone who works in advertising enjoys the challenge of creating concepts, ad copy or visuals. On the other hand, if you enjoy helping people solve problems, you might want to pursue a job in customer service. A curious mind might lead you to a research or science position.CultureAlignment of values is another critical, if overlooked, consideration in choosing a job. Even if you have interest in and skills for the position, you won't be happy if you are constantly faced with value conflicts. For example, you might enjoy your work as a product researcher for a manufacturing firm, but feel uncomfortable that your employer dumps toxins in a nearby river. You might enjoy being a sportswriter for a newspaper, but find its editorial viewpoints offensive. Make sure you don't feel guilty collecting your paycheck every week.Objectives（目标）Before saying yes to a job, you also need to evaluate your short-term andlong-term career objectives. In the short-term, a job that helps you grow your skills might work. If you are more advanced in your career, however, you might have more interest in picking a job with stability, good pay and adequate benefits. Knowing howa job fits into the small and big picture plans makes your decision a little easier.24.9.225.Describe your ideal job 9.3When I was a little child I found being a teacher was very interesting. And, I like to stay with students all day long. The students are very sunny and lovely. So I have made up my mind to be a teacher. I choose to do so mainly for several reasons. First, I want to teach because I want to teach and I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, and to educate the students how to be a good person. Second, I can have the opportunity to keep on learning. Third, I think it is noble to spread knowledge.I hope I can become a good teacher and have many great students in the future. I believe my dream will come true sooner or later.。

武汉理工大学研究生英语口语复习资料总结（版权所有者资环研1201班）1、The differences between Chinese and American educationGood morning teacher:They think that Chinese education can efface students’ creativity and enthusiasm for learning. In my opinion, the case can appear because Chinese education is different from American education.First of all, Chinese support all-rounder education. They think that their children who were in very young can not lose in starting line. Hence, when children should be spoiled, children would have been forced to learn piano, dance, drawing, and English. Children lose their simplicity, the curiosity about interest and childhood joy. Children are only arranged to do what parents want them to do.However, American supports professional skills. They think that it is good their children have a personal strength. In elementary school, children can learn how to play; in middle school, children can found their personal strength; and to senior high school, children must be sure their roads. In college, children can develop their profession.In addition to basic education, most people’s opinion are that Chinese education is for foundation education, and American education is for the cultivation of students’ creativity, but it can let students learn more. Chinese education focuses on the knowledge to accumulate and indoctrinate, on how use and manage the knowledge they learned in school is not taught. Reversely, American care more about how students use knowledge in society. Most important, their education style is different. Chinese education style can be called “Exam-oriented Education”. At school, the class cadence is always dominated by the teacher. What’s more, the score can determine students’ everything, including you are good or bad. American education style can be called “Quality-oriented Education”. It cultivates the creativity and ability of students so that they can meet the needs of society in the future.Comparing between countries can make us have a clear opinion about what we should improve. It is essential for our Chinese to adopt some good education methods from other countries. It helps to educate our children to be a person with high IQ and EQ.2、The real purpose of educationThe purpose of education is one of the main focuses of the society. Some of societies think that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit, while some other societies think that formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free. And I think our education should not only teach the younger generation common sense of the world but also sharp their critical mind and creation ability, find their gifts and fulfill them to make contributions.However, the purpose of education is not only making students know something but also making them have critical sense. Based the common sense of world, student would have the courage to doubt the authority and speak out their own opinions.In addition, for ordinary people, their felling of happiness comes from their affection and sentiment but not reasoning and logos. To cultivate Imagination and enthusiasm, the ability of creation; they must can grasp the afflatus and break the tradition.Nevertheless, the means of education may have its own problems. The school today overemphasis the things which are known to be true and the students pay too much attention on memory those things. And those things distort the real purpose of education. We must do our best to change these situations and give the younger generation a health environment for studying.Time is changing and developing. Our means of education must according to the development of the society in order to re-shape the younger generation meet the purpose of education. The younger generation of our society must not only have basic sense of the traditional things but also the ability of creation.3、Successful result of the educationThe successful result of the education is not about having good grades. But it's about having open-mind with the people around you during the process of your education, about how much you have learned from others. Learn to find our gifts, to solve the problem by ourselves , to fulfill our talent to make great contributions , to make the change, to help others with what we learn.It' better to teach a man fishing than to give him the fish.Show him how to walk rather than taking him to the destination.4、Ebook VS Paper bookWhat do you think is better for reading an ebook or a traditional paper book, and what do you see as differences between them ?the advantages of ebooks are that1. you do not have to pay for most of them2. you can have almost every position you want (that is hard to find in local library or book store)3. you can send it to your friendthe advantages of paper book1. you do not use your eyes sight as mush as while reading e-books2. Reading book with a cup of tea is like an art /like sacret custom. It has its like to smell new bought book and take care of it while reading.I prefer ebook because I can bring them wherever I want in my cellphone. To be frank, I can save me a lot of money to buy books.5、The sports I likeMy best favorite sport is basketball. Everybody likes playing basketball in university. I love playing basketball, too. It’s my favorite. I go to play it in our school gym as long as I have time, My teacher told me that playing basketball would make me tall and strong and he encourages me to play it more often. I play harder than before. My teacher teaches me how to play it better. I made progress. I have my own way to play it.Basketball is a very good sport. It can strength our bodies. It is a good way to relax, release our pressure too. My favorite basketball player is Kobe Bean Bryant, it is because him that I begin to play basketball and I gradually love to play basketball, he is a great basketball player and he has tenacious perseverance. His ball skill is so miraculous, and now he is in the . Lakers, and being the key figure to shoulder a responsibility. I like him so much.Since basketball is so interesting, let’s play basketball together, ok?I am sure it will make our college life wonderful and encourages us to perform well in every field.6、World car Free DayOn world car free day-September the 22nd, people are advocated to use environmentally friendly transportations such as buses, underground, bikes, or on their bare foot, instead of driving private cars which do great harm to the increasingly worsening global warming, air pollution , traffic accidents, etc.There is no doubt that the intention of this activity is very good, however, the implementing is below expectation. At the very beginning, people were interested in it and took part in it, but as time went on, participants became less and less. And now, the condition becomes even worse. Some people say that world car free day is indeed a wonderful activity; but on the other hand, it is quite unrealistic. For it can not arouse more people’s attention and can not change people’s habits of driving. It can not change the deteriorated environmental condition in one day in such a stupid way. To cater to this activity, some cities even forbid cars in certain areas, which make the jam worse in the surrounding areas. However, we should know clearly the main purpose of the world car free day. We do not prohibit cars, which sounds impossible for people in 21st century. We just want to recall people’s attention on environmental and traffic problems. To make life better and faster, we invented cars, but as a result, we become slower because of traffic jam and our life becomes worse because of the air pollution, sound pollution, global warming. The world car free day is an opportunity for people to remind the necessity of reducing private car driving. At least, people can walk or ride bicycles if the destination is not far. This is the solid foundation to alleviate the aftermaths of private cars. People realize the root of their problems, and then they can solve it probably. I do believe our world will becomea better place because of the implement of world car free day.7、Tiger mother and cat motherAs we all know, education plays an important role in the development of human. So educational style is a good topic which is worth thinking about. Recently, the educational styles of tiger mother and cat mother are so hot in society.Chuan army stands for the style of tiger mother , Chang Zhitao stands for the style of cat mother . They use two different absolutely educational ways, but their children are all excellent and outstanding.The style of tiger mother is similar to Chinese parents’ style in which they treat their children. She is so strict with her two daughters, Sophia and Louisa in every aspect of lives. She makes a lot of requirements for them, for example, watching TV or playing computer games is not allowed, as well as getting any grade less than an A. Even a Chinese child like me is so surprised to know those requirements from a mother. However, the educational style of “cat mother” is kind and democratic. He prefer to respecting the choices which are made by his daughter, Chang Shuai. In addition, communicating with Chang Shuai and knowing about what she is thinking are necessary in life. Not like tiger mother, “cat mother”gives much freedom to his daughter, he encourages Chang Shuai to join in various society activities and he doesn’t force Chang to study hard and better. I think just because he trusts his daughter that she can do well, he choose kinder and tolerant educational style.I was raised with the style of cat mother. My mother can listen to my thoughts and respect my choice. I feel very happy and relaxed. Of course, in the future, I will pick the style of cat mother for my children. According to my points, Freedom is so vital to children. They can do whatever they like, apparently, the things they do must be beneficial to the growth of them. What’s more, Teaching them lots of human principle in a relax atmosphere and encouraging them to think things by themselves are so necessary. I do think parents should give much more freedom to their children!1-StudyA: Good morning\afternoon teachers,we are very happy for today’s oral test. Today, our team’s topic is “study”. As is well-known, study is very important, and it plays a very significant role in modern world. B: Everything that makes our society more advanceable, is depended upon the study. We read more books and fewer mistakes would be made by us. For that, we can learn more mistake examples from books so that we will make few mistakes in the future.C: Personally speaking, study can make a full man, can cultivate a man, and can make a man move forward. We read all kinds of books that contribute to perfect our knowledge structure and form critical thinking. So we should read books of various fields to make us be a full man. That alsocan learn more about our world in all aspects. In my opinion, a full man should have a positive world view and adopt an active philosophy of life, which are usually based on a knowledge culture.D: Studies can make people happy, wise, increase knowledge. If we read all kinds of books, in that way, we are able to taste what might not happen to us in real life, and then ask ourselves what we should do in that situation.D: What’s more, we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books. Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions, and reading different books can bring different knowledge which we lack.1-EducationA: Good morning\afternoon teachers,we are very happy for today’s oral test. Today, our team’s topic is “education”.As a developed country of the world, the American not only leading in the science and the economy, American scientists also have received a disproportionately high number of the Nobel prizes awarded in the physical and life sciences. Its educational system stands apart from the rest of the world. American’s success regard to many reasons , and now we talk about it.B: I think the American education operates with a free market spirit in a much less regulated, more laissez-faire climate. Its curricular organization is less structured, allowed the students themselves the freedom to make their own educational choices. This aspect of the American system is its strength, I believe.C: I think the subject is one point. Most American institutions of higher universities teach in a student-sensitive manner and offer a great variety of courses that will attract as many students as possible.D: Although American education is a laissez-faire curricular organization, it’s also strict. Sometimes students r play too much or is too relax, they are not able to stay in the universities for the higher grades, contribute to the students work hard.A: I think another reason lies in the American’s organization which other countries can copy, but they will not find it easy. Every year not only the states poured money into community colleges, it also attract a wide range of patrons from state governments to religious bodies, from fee-paying students to generous philanthropists which brought a lot of money in construction of university.The challenges in a university could be:Time management ;cultural customs ;get involved in new environment ;academic burden ;learn new skills ;peer pressure ;join different societies ;weather and food ；local accent ;read and write in academic english.；love.第二章1:do you agree that "money talks"?what are the thingsthat money can buy and cannot buy?money talks means that rich people or organizations can get or do what they want.I do not agree with can't live without money ,but it doesn't mean money is think money is just a tool we need to should control money ,not by it .we human are the masters of it .money serve for ue. No matter how much money you give ,a person with high quality can't do what you want if it is illegal or standard of people's life do not have something to do with you have ,but about happiness and so on.For example ,money can buy beautiful houses ,but it can't buy an exact home or the happiness that you stay with families ;it can buy expensive cars ,but it can't buy the people you love to sit beside you ;it can buy friends ,but it can't buy a true friendship ;it can buy medical treatment ,but it can't buy time and health ;it can buy books ;but it can't buy knowledge and so on.It brings you food ,but not appetite ;medicine ,but not health; acquaintances ,but not friends ;servants ,but not loyalty ;days of joy ,but not peace of happiness.Yes, I can’t agree more .The attitude toward about money.The grandparents: they have experienced the most difficult times in china. So they are very frugal, they spend one cents as two cents. And they will be willing to spend money only when it must be. Most of them like to hide the cash at home. They don’t think put the money in the bank is safe. Often they are willing to put all of their money to their children, although this is not a large sum of money. And I believe this is their greatest love to the younger generation.Parents:most of them are frugal. They only spend money in the things what they think it’s worth. And they put most of the wage in the bank. Maybe to them, they regard the more and more in the bank card as a kind of assurance of life. And one day, when there is a need. Parents will take out all their life saving with no hesitation. For example, they will help their son to buy a house for he married, or they will spend the money for their children to study abroad.Ourselves:most of us don’t know the difficult of making money. We spend money on anything we want. Even someone spend one yuan as one jiao . they are moonlight group. Whenever and wherever if they have money in their pocket, they will spend it over immediately. They shout the slogans” money will come and go, enjoy the life is the most im portant.”But the majority of us are not like that. We get the money, but we save a part of it in the bank.

Hey,xxx, I have heart that you also go there last year,what do you feel in Sanya ?C:yeah yeah~~ i went to Sanya last summer vacation.

I having planning to go to Sanya for holiday since last year.Sanya is where i am looking forward all the time. And i also want to go to BeiJing.D:Beijing ? I stayed there for a whole summer vacation.it’s really a good place for fun. After all,Beijing is the capital of China , Beijing is the heart of China.The most splendour place must be the Great Wall.Fortunately,i have been on the great wall, and standing there watching the beautiful scene,and i have taken the photo there.xxx how do you feel about beijing.?C:me? Oh, i don’t know, i have never been there,but in my heart,Beijing is the holiest place in China,as you know ,it is the capital of our country after all. Tian an men square,the palace museum,and the great wall,is all where i want to go .xxx. Do you want to go to beijing on holiday?B:Certainly yes!I can’t wait going to beijing.In addition,i also wish to go to the ancient city of Ping Yao.It’s often say that,in Ping Yao,you may get thorough physical and mental relaxation.The beauty of old houses,the kind-hearted people,let you get drunk in pingyao.D:Sure, as we all know, the ancient town of pingyao is inscribed on the list of World Cultural Heritage.it is where everybody wants to go.

I’m your host XX, Welcome to this program.Today’s topic is about the Space Tour.Recently,as we all know,there is a hot debate about this topic,so today we will discuss this topic and we are honored to invited B ,C and D.welcome guys! B,C,D: Hi!Thank you ,host.A:well ,since you are here,please share your opinions about “Is it possible to realize the Space Tour?”Give your reasons.B: As far as I know，Space Tour is the term that’s come to be used to mean ordinary menbers of the public buying tickets to travel to space and back. Now ,we have the International Space Station and the space ship,the development of science has already enabled us to trave to the moon. So I think it is possible to realize the Space Tour in the future.C:I don’t agree with you. Although we have the technology to go to the moon,but it’s too expensive.And only the astronauts who are trained by the institution such as the NASA can go to the space.The ordinary menbers of the public can’t afford the money to go to space. Thus,I don’t think Space tour will be relized in the short time.B:NO,NO,NO.There is an example that ordinary people pay for the space tour. It is said that American bussinessman Dennis Tito paid between twelve million and twenty million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station.And the cost will be reduced in the future. Do you think so? DD:No,I’m afraid I can’t agree with you.In my opinion,on the one hand, Althought space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station. But the cost is too expensive to ordinary people.We can’t afford ,Despite the space tour cost will drop to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the near future.C:Yes, my opinion is the same to you. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is a large sum of money for the ordinary person. Most of people can’t afford it.D:Yes,you are right. On the other hand, people who travel to the space must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests.They must receive a lot of training. Ordinary people's physical quality may not reach the requirements.So I think it’s difficult for ordinary people to trave to the space.A:OK.we have different opinions about the Space Tour.Someone think it’s possible ,someone think it’s impossible due to the cost and the physical quality. No matter how difficult it is, I hope that Space Tour can be realized as soon as possible. That’s all !Thank you for your attention!Thanks.Group work: Work in 4 to make a presentation about “Tourism brings us...”A:Good morning,teachers. Today, our topic is “What Tourism can bring us”. As you can see, as one of the most important industries, tourism develops rapidly in China in recent years. Almost everyone has the experience of a journey, in China or abroad. So, what can we get or what will we lost from tourism? Now, let’s have your opinions. B:Personally, I think tourism can relieve pressure of study and work. Although the process is a bit tired, it’s full of endless happiness. There are always a lot of things to do if we go to a new place. For example, during the trip to Beijing, we will visit tourist attractions like Tian’anmen Square, Great Wall or Summer Palace; eat special food like Beijing Roast Duck; experience the local culture such as listening Peking Opera. The point is that we’re able to relax mind and broaden our horizon at the same time. C:I agree completely. In addition, I think the best thing about tourism is that we can make friends. People who share the same interest will become friends with us very naturally. During the trip, we can train our social skills by communicating with different people and dealing with different problems.So, go to a trip if you have time！D：That’s true.Tourism is good for individuals. But don’t you think it’s harmful to the environment? Due to a lack of environmental awareness, tourists always throw away garbage at random, which lead to environment pollution directly. For instance, we go to Beijing to visit Great Wall. However, some tourists like to carve their names into status in order to memorize their visiting. Moreover, some bricks have been stolen. The damage can’t be made up forever.A: I couldn’t agree with you more. Except for status, tourism is harmful to ecological system too. Because of the huge number of tourists, wild animals are forced to leave their habitat for safer places. Flowers are picked for their fragrance, small trees are broken just for fun. Ecologic balance has been damaged in many sightseeing places. B:But that’s different. We are talking about what tourism brings us, not how we should travel. We actually adopt the right way to travel by default. As you said, it’s due to the lack of environment awareness, not tourism itself. The losses of status and ecologic balance can both be prevented.D: OK ,let me tell you what must happen. Local residents’normal lives must be disturbed by tourism. As more and more places of interest are discovered, tourism managers are likely to invest to build some basic facilities such as hotels, restaurants and so on, which will obviously occupy large amount of land. We’re not supposed to influence their quite life.C:I’m afraid I disagree. You call it disturbance, I call it communication. As far as I’m concerned, the reason why tourism develops is cultural exchange. One of the purposes of traveling to a foreign country is to study and understand the local culture. At the same time, it will bring its own culture to the local people. Therefore, it can promote the spread and exchange of culture. Furthermore, culture is a kind of tourism resources, so in order to develop tourism for their economic and social services, it’s necessary for a country to pay great attention to protect its national culture.A:All right. I see we have agreed to disagree. Each coin has two sides. It’s undeniablethat both positive and negative effects exist. Tourism benefits us a lot, we make friends, broaden our horizons and feel different folk culture. However, we should keep it in mind that only the environment is protected well can we continue to develop tourism. The above is our discussion. Thank you!Topoic: How do you look upon on the relationship between GDP promotion and protection of the ecological environment?A: In recent years, Tourism is becoming an increasingly important industry in China. Our government has taken effective measures to improve this new industry over the past few years. For example, it has explored many appealing scenic and historic spots. Tourists from all over the world come in flock to China every year.B: You can say that again.Tourism can have a positive effect on the environment. First of all, with the development of tourism, it can bring our country huge finance income. Secondly, we can find ecological problems in some areas so that we can take immediate measures to deal with it, such as ecological construction and pollution control. In this way, we beautify the environment.C: But people differ as to the advantages and disadvantages of the tourist industry. On the one hand, it can improve the local economic level; on the other hand, it may affect the local ecological environment.D: You can say that again.Tourism can have a positive effect on the environment. First of all, with the development of tourism, it can bring our country huge finance income. Secondly, we can find ecological problems in some areas so that we can take immediate measures to deal with it, such as ecological construction and pollution control. In this way, we beautify the environment.B：Yes,you are right.I think the GDP promotion and environmental protection are equally important. It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of GDP. We can’t deny that although too much tourists lead the economic development, they bring much harm to the environment.C: So we need to find a balance between GDP promotion and protection of the ecological environment by developing ecotourism.Ecotourism is defined by the International Ecotourism Society as "responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people." Simply put, it is tourism which helps the environment and helps the local community.D: I couldn’t agree more.Ecotourism is good for the local community, provides jobs, services, and stimulates the economy. It provides energy conservation, less fuel is used and less harmful gasses are released into the air. It's helpful to plants and animals, keeping them protected. Best of all, the tourist gets a vacation that they will never forget.A: A true eco-travel is a tou r that not only allows us to express our love for nature, but needs our responsibility as well. As we enjoy the beauty of nature, we should try our best to protect it. And we should also try to protect wildlife. A true eco-travel should be like this: take nothing away but your good memory; leave nothing behind but all the green trees and the clean water.。
